Good points, although the propaganda often was more important (and intermittently uniform) than the reality of conditions in driving the actions of the other side — as was the case with the early Soviet effort to recruit inside the African American community on the basis of contrasting U.S. social injustices with the…

Quite true — in all seriousness, I think it's likely that most of the civil rights and gender equality victories of the twentieth century in the United States were in part made possible by the every-present specter of Communism (whether that fear was of being too much like "them" or not as advanced morally/socially).

Imagine if this had happened before the end (hiatus?) of the Cold War — Republicans would be authorizing free abortion vouchers for everyone because "Anti-abortion is anti-freedom."

The only way to stop a bad guy in a clown costume is with a good guy in a clown costume ... if you make wearing clown costumes criminal, only criminals will have clown costumes ... first they came for our clowns, next the mimes ...

Wait — if it's that guy, these posts were probably written by algorithm.

The Lord moves in mysterious ways — he just can't get enough of those syncopated rhythms.

So, who is going to be the brave lawmaker to propose an change to the proposed law granting an exemption to members of Congress? Or are they just going to rely on the traditional workarounds of selective enforcement and blaming a staffer if all else fails?

This is almost certainly the origin — I would also imagine that the name was originally coined by a female because, let's face it, men don't normally consider whether a room's isolation/lighting/etc. makes it more or less likely that they will be sexually assaulted.

Pro-tip: Create a fake name and burner email account when using a cheating website. There, saved you twenty dollars.

FSM help me for saying it, since nothing is too stupid apparently, but just wait until they combine this reality show with Rising Star ... if America votes, the box unfolds.

Hmmm ... a younger sister nobody knew about who is upset (i.e., whiny) about something? Sounds like mystical monk magic to me.

Did someone just purchase a new insurance policy and then "forget" to set the alarm?

Let's master subject-verb agreement before attempting word-play, okay?

Well, that would certainly simplify things when SCOTUS decides to make contraception illegal across the board.

I loved the comment and it deserves a million stars, but this is probably the wrong audience — it's like throwing PERLs before swine.

I imagine this all started with a mix-up at the local Kinko's when the promoters for this race grabbed the flyers being printed for the area's swing club and vice versa. Fortunately for everyone involved, the club decided to go ahead with their "Pi Eating" themed mixer since one pun is as good as another.

Who do?

I see a twist like in "The Usual Suspects" coming when the homeowner remarks to the confused officer who has just let the feline burglar outside, "Cat? I don't own a cat."
